Age Old - Headlight Motor Wiring 86 Firebird
Hey All,
I am getting very tired of having to spin my headlight motors by hand and I am going to try fixing my headlight motors finally after I think there may be hope to finding the 3 relays I need on my 86!
So I have been told these relays will replace the stock ones:
Napa AR6433 x2 for actuator relays &
Napa AR690 x1 for the isolation relay.
So my first question is this:
Where would I find the isolation relay on the car? I am sure my 2 actuator relays are gone during my rebuild but I am unsure if the isolation relay was taken out as well. Some guidance on this would be really appreciated .
My next problem:
When I receive the relays, I do not know which pins the wires off the motors go to. The previous owner seems to have tried to rig the wires to work and has just left them hanging off the motors and cut the connectors off! The wiring diagrams show which wires go to the relay but I have no idea which wire to which pin. If somebody could take a picture of the plug going to all 3 relays with the wire colors showing I would be very, very grateful!
My last question:
Does anybody know if there is a molex connector or something that will plug into each relay? This would be much easier for me to solder to each of the wires instead of soldering the motor wires directly to the relay.
Answers to any of these questions is very much appreciated. I really appreciate any help!
